Workplace Violence & Assault Injury Representation
Compassionate, experienced advocacy for workers harmed on the job
Introduction
Supporting NH Workers Harmed by Workplace Violence or Assault
Workplace violence and assault can cause serious physical injury, emotional trauma, and long-term psychological harm. These incidents are especially common in healthcare, social services, education, hospitality, and retail—but they can happen in any job environment.
At Vanacore Law Office, we help workers across New Hampshire secure workers’ compensation benefits after a workplace assault or violent incident. With more than 40 years of experience, Attorney John G. Vanacore provides steady guidance, clear communication, and strong advocacy for workers navigating both the physical and emotional challenges that follow an assault.
Even when another person is at fault, workers’ compensation benefits still apply—covering medical treatment, wage benefits, and long-term support.
